Every day, another flower bursts into bloom to delight my soul. I literally have to walk around my entire home every couple of days so that I don't miss any of them. This Azalea is always stunning. The

What is the single most beneficial addition to your garden? I can't wait to have my own garden. Although I am very grateful, that I get to work in other people'e gardens, I can't wait to once again have

An example of how mulching changed what used to be barren, eroded earth on a slope, with exposed rocks, into the greenest and healthiest part along our street. No longer being eroded away by nature and

Боролися-боролися ми з бур'янами на висадженій восени ділянці малини, та так і не забороли їх до кінця. А все тому, що ці бур'яни дуже важко, практично неможливо вивести. Бо це - так звана берізка і осет,

I doodled 6/6 when writing a list of things earlier today. When the hubby asked about the date, I told him it was the 6th, and he missed an event he was planning to attend. So we drove instead to the other

Over the weekend, Larry really liked the wood stove going too. He’s even a little bit closer than I am here. On Tuesday morning I planned to finish the laundry and clean the kitchen, but I got side tracked.

Hi Everyone, It's been a while that I have made a blog on this amazing platform but I'm happy to back again to share with you about my new garden update regarding my yam planting. It's with great pleasure

On Tuesday morning, after a poor night’s sleep, I was up at 5AM and got my post up. I got the chores done and the cats fed early (I hope this doesn’t set a precedent…) and my helper got her breakfast and

On Tuesday morning, I was up at 5AM and got my posts up, then I finished cleaning the picture frames and hung them back up. I needed to clean off the kitchen table to hold all the seedlings going to the

On Thursday morning the forecast was for snow to start at 9AM. It was pretty gloomy but 40F outside so I didn’t think we’d get anything but rain. Tom messaged me just before 9AM and it had started at his

On Wednesday my general helper said she would come out but stay outside even though the temperature was barely in the 40’s. She would continue work on the 2nd section in the Big garden. The first job was
